Today is my darling wife’s birthday! She’s 29 of course. I could have gone to some store or bakery and bought another cardboard box, “cookie cutter” birthday cake, … but a real man knows that even if it’s ugly, a woman would far prefer a cake made and decorated by her husband’s own clumsy hands. This was my attempt, and though it may not be as pretty as one of those cardboard box cakes, by God it tasted better!
